Tacoma, WA, singer-songwriter J. Martin has been making a name for himself for years – first, as guitarist for indie pop favorites Oh Dear!, and more recently as bassist for anthemic guitar-rock outfit Wheelies. In 2013, J. Martin released his sublimely melancholic solo debut, ‘Awake or a Dream.’ J. Martin’s long-awaited sophomore effort, ‘Both of Those Things,’ finds him taking a giant leap forward from the understated folk-rock of his earlier work, into a kaleidoscopic and formally ambitious future. Lush, dynamic, and audacious, ‘Both of Those Things’ finds J. Martin embracing heady experimentalism while only amplifying the heart that has always made him compelling.
Hailing from Sacramento, CA, Güero has grown into a diverse musical act that does not neatly fit into any musical genre. Starting as whimsical ideas and melodies in the mind of vocalist/guitarist Rik Krull, the band grew into its current sound with the addition of Russell Volksen on Bass, Mike Ruiz on Drums, and finally Shea Ritchie on Keyboards. Their sound is a melodic mix of punctual bass and keyboards, pulsating drums, and woodsy guitars, with beautiful, reverb-laden vocals coalesced into striking pop songs and ballads.
Slow Pull is a singer/songwriter from Sacramento whose music can’t be placed into just one genre. Ethereal guitars and haunting vocals mixed with elements of indie and lofi create a truly unique listening experience.
The show will open with J. Martin, followed by Slow Pull with Güero closing.
